Abstract
The online poultry management system was designed to help small scale poultry farmers to be
able to store their farm records in a place they could easily access them like their smartphone
and as well be able to carry out their farm management with ease.
The online poultry management system was an android application that was developed to have
a user who was the farm manager or owner who was able to store the various farm records as
well as edit or delete such records or even retrieve the already existing ones with ease because
access to one’s smartphone is easier than using other gadgets like laptops, desktops.
The online poultry management system included various sections like the dashboard which
provided quick access to the user so that they could access the various modules in the
application without difficulty. It also included the eggs section where one could add a
collection, and then increment it whenever they collected more eggs and could as well view
the total eggs collected on that particular day. It also included the sales activity or page where
you could view the sales for a particular day and also add new ones that had been made. It also
showed the total sales for that particular day. It also included a purchases or expenses activity
or page that showed all the purchases and as well allowed the user to add a new purchase once
it had been made. It also included a feeding activity or page which contains records on the
house to be fed, the time of feeding, the type of feed to be given to that particular house as well
as the quantity of feeds to be given to that particular house. It also allowed the user to add a
new feeding record containing the above and as well was able to search for a particular house
once required. It also included a health activity or page where you could view the vaccination
date, vaccines to be administered as well as the disease to be treated and the user could also be
able to add a new record in the same activity. It also included various reports such as eggs
report, purchase report, sales report provided to the user at any time.
The system was developed using Rapid Application Development (RAD). It was developed
using android studio which uses Intellij IDEA as its Integrated Development Environment. The
language used for developing was java in association with XML all available in android studio.
XML handles how the different activities/pages would appear then java now connects the
different activities as well as carry out various operations in the system including calculations,
database connections to mention but a few. The application is online and the data from the
various users is stored in google Firebase which is under Google Cloud.
